Vegan sushi options in the past have usually been limited to cucumber or avocado rolls. However, with the popularity of nori seaweed as a health food and its use to make nori rolls, the rise of creative and delicious vegan seaweed rolls is growing unabated. In fact, you could argue that the concept of sushi is much better suited for vegetables than for fish or other seafood.

First, it takes much less effort to harvest and chop a few vegetables from the garden than to cultivate an entire fishing industry to make this meal. Second, you can combine many more ingredients with thin slices or strips of vegetables than wrapping up a singe piece of fish or processed crab resulting in more robust flavor. Lastly, it is much healthier and cleaner eating! So enjoy the rainbow of plant-based food options wrapped in nutrient dense nori and keep a look out for the expanding options of nori rolls at plant-based restaurants around the country!
